Dear Jesus, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go.
Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine.
Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
The light oh, Jesus, will come all from You, none of it will be mine; You will be the one who shines on others through me. Shining on those around me, let me praise you the way you like it. Allow me to preach without preaching, not with words but through my example, through the attractive force, the harmonious influence of everything I do, the ineffable fullness of love that exists in my heart for You.
Amen.
